Using Predictive Tech and Telematics to Modernize Roadway Safety Funding.

This law allows states and local authorities to use federal grants for advanced technologies, such as predictive analytics and telematics, to proactively identify and address road hazards. The goal is to significantly improve safety, leading to fewer crashes, injuries, and fatalities on US highways. The legislation also mandates strict guidelines for data privacy, ensuring personal information is protected and technology use is transparent.
Key points
Federal highway safety funds can now be used specifically for deploying predictive analytics and telematics systems to prevent crashes and identify high-risk road segments.
States must integrate these advanced data tools into their safety planning and risk modeling processes to make safety investments more effective.
The Department of Transportation must issue guidance on anonymizing data, securing personal information, and ensuring the reliability and transparency of the new technologies.
The bill also focuses on improving safety and efficiency within the national highway freight transportation system.
